I don't even remember what my avatar was any more. I'm doing this all via my phone right now so I can't really upload any photos right now. That'll change once I get the laptop functional again. I have a buddy who plays with old cadillac motors too; also an expensive hobby. They had a better afterma...

I'm just wondering where I should post up pics and progress of my MEL powered '63 Comet. It doesn't really fit in. Maybe the Photographs section? It'll be kind of an oddball, one-of-a-kind, thread for this forum . Definitely no need for it's own section

Haven't been on the forum in a pretty long time. This is a pretty weak Hilborn thread given there's no pics of my setup yet! It's still very much a work in progress but I've made some headway. As soon as I have a way to upload photos I'll make a proper build thread. Building a period correct vintage...

Oh yeah, I sold this some time ago. Sorry about not updating, I haven't been on here in a loooong time. I plan on changing that

I've got a transmission from a '63 if anyone wants it. It came off an engine that sat for some time before I bought it. I have no idea whether it works or not but it appears to be in good shape. I've put it on craigslist a few times and I need to get rid of it. I'd rather give it away to someone who...

I picked up an Edelbrock LM6 6x2 intake earlier this year off of eBay. Then, two months later, someone listed a Hilborn (which is what I really wanted). The Hilborn is incomplete though, and to finance the rest of what I need to get it operating I'm gonna sell my Edelbrock. It's in really good shape...

If you're lookin to buy, I'll sell my Edelbrock for $600 shipped

Yeah, the Super Marauder stuff is somewhere between gold and platinum on the cost scale...kinda makes it a little easier for me though, the speed parts are, for some reason, a little less desirable. Totally cool with me, I got a Hilborn MFI setup for probably half of what a beat up air cleaner will ...

Found this while doing my usual MEL speed part search http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1958-1959-Mercury-super-marauder-430-6pack-air-cleaner-/270644494428?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f03ab405c I've no use for one but maybe someone here will snap it up, especially if the price is r...

I also agree with Kultulz. You're going to have much bigger problems with the valve train and oiling system. I knew where some excellent tips and tricks for hopping up a MEL are...but it's on another forum :( Beep authored it and REALLY knows his stuff, I've had a few conversations with him and next...
